Embossed tape and reel is used for transporting and storing electronic components. The
packing is designed to feed components into automatic pick-and-place machines for
surface mounting on PCBs. The complete configuration consists of a carrier tape with
pockets holding the individual components that are sealed by a cover tape.

The tape and reel configurations of the nRF24, nRF51, nRF52, and nRF8000 series products meet
the current industry standards described in EIA-481: 8 mm through 200 mm Embossed
Carrier Taping and 8 mm through 200 mm Punched Carrier Taping of Surface Mount
Components for Automatic Handling. The loaded reels are shipped with a
Humidity Indicator Card (HIC) and a bag of desiccant gel according to the JEDEC standard
JSTD-033.

Reel dimensions
Reels containing sealed carrier tape follow the dimension requirements described in EIA-481. For the detailed dimensions of the reel, refer to this standard. The reels are made of polystyrene and can be recycled.

Tape components
In the embossed tape-and-reel configuration, electronic components are placed in pockets embossed in the carrier tape. The cover tape is sealed to the carrier tape to encase the components in the pockets.
